Short Preview: Her breath hitched as she looked up, her gaze finding Remi's face in the candlelight. The soft glow brushed against her cheekbones and lines of her scars. Nova's heart clenched, her throat tight as realization washed over her. Nova didn't see Remi as something small or distant. No, Remi felt infinite. Endless. She wasn't the moon in the sky. Or the stars. Remi was the whole damn galaxy. . . . In 2074, a catastrophic A.I. failure shattered the world. Cities crumbled, nations vanished, and what remained of the United States retreated beneath a single fortified Dome-humanity's last sanctuary. By 2242, life inside the Dome is rigid, monitored, and suffocating. Beyond its walls lies a mutated wasteland where nothing survives for long. Each year, twenty-five citizens are chosen and sent outside. None have ever returned. But this year, the Dome's perfect lies begin to crack. The Chosen are about to uncover a world far more dangerous-and far more alive-than they were ever allowed to believe. Out there, truth is poison, loyalty breaks easily, and love can become the most lethal weapon of all. Because once you step beyond the Dome, survival isn't guaranteed. And neither is who you become. . . . (This story contains a wlw/gxg/lesbian love story. It is a slow burn, but I promise that it's epic!) #1 under #wasteland 10/17/25

Emily Nelson is an eighteen-year-old high school student stepping into her final year, determined to get through it like any other. But everything shifts when she meets Ms. Miller, the new English teacher, thirty-two, composed, and impossible to ignore. From the moment Emily walks into her classroom, something about Ms. Miller lingers in her mind. It starts small - a glance held a second too long, a voice that cuts through the noise, a presence that feels impossible to shake. But over time, those moments begin to build into something Emily can't quite name-and even less control. And yet, the more Emily tries to focus on everything else-school, friends, her final year-the harder it becomes not to notice her. Not to think about her. Not to want what she knows she shouldn't. What will happen when lines begin to blur, when silence becomes heavier than words, and when the distance between student and teacher starts to feel impossibly fragile? In a year meant for endings, Emily might just find herself beginning something she can't easily walk away from.

She was trained to vanish into shadows. Elizabeth is a SIS agent, disciplined, precise, and sent into the heart of one of the most dangerous criminal organisations in Europe with a single objective: bring it down from the inside. She knows how to lie without blinking, how to disappear without a trace, and how to survive in worlds where trust is a liability. But nothing in her training prepared her for what happens when the line between duty and emotion begins to blur. Especially when the mission starts to feel less like a job and more like a choice she can't take back. Because Alexandra Rossi does not forgive mistakes. The mafia queen is everything Elizabeth was warned about, cold, controlled, and ruthless in a way that has built an empire out of fear and loyalty. She leads without hesitation, speaks without waste, and destroys without remorse. At least, that's what the reports say. What Elizabeth learns is far more complicated. Beneath the power and precision is a woman who has spent her life surviving in silence, where trust is rare and vulnerability is a risk that could cost everything. Their worlds were never meant to collide like this. Agent and target. Hunter and empire. But when proximity turns into understanding, and understanding into something far more dangerous, the mission begins to fracture in ways neither of them can control. Because some connections do not follow orders and some betrayals change everything. Now, with secrets buried too deep and loyalties rewritten in the dark, the question is no longer who is right or wrong, but what happens when walking away is no longer an option, and staying means choosing a side that could destroy everything they were meant to protect.
